GT's system is called PLOYHOG,,. I have one and like it. the only thing I do not like is the compoind and there version of sealing the lense. Tey use PLEXUS and that is a verry short term protecter.. I now use it and the sanding discs for the hard jobs to cut the hard deposit.

I use the dvelip for most everything else.. It is nice to have a chioce depending on how bad the lights are.....

The customers like it also when you open up the back of your truck and it is full of diffeant systems... They think you know what you are doing then..... (Come on now, that is a joke ;) )

GT, I watched the video and the compound looked messy,(Lots of masking) but that didnt bother me as long as the compound does the job.
I must admit the 10 minute claim impressed me, were you repairing them in 10 minutes?.

Thanks for your opinion on the Clear, I need something that will hold up and most people like the Devlup, I have some bright solutions clear that seems to work too.

I will say I tryed Bright sulutions Good, Not good as Dvelup. GT, Messy, Yes, 10 min.s, NOT! I averaged 60 per car.
Please stop looking around and just buy the DVELUP. We all have been using them all and most all of us bought Dvelup but one bought IPS. The Dvelup has the sealer that is needed to restore your lights.

From FL. To CA. We are standing behind them....

I do like GT for some things, Bright Solutions for some, No chance to try IPS.
Down the road you may have them all to try and use them for what thay are good for for you.

There is no way to do a set of headlights "properly" if there is substancial damage in 10 mins.I have been doing them for over 2 years here in the Deep south and we have very bad uv damage here.Save your time and aggrevation and get the Dvelup slicker sealer.When you "think " that you have a good job with the others just apply the Dvelup sealer and then you will be amazed how much better they turn out.

You have been asking about H/L restoring sence April and the way I look at it, We all have been telling you to look at Dvelup ever sence then and you have not dones so yet from what I can see...... How much money have you possably lost out on so far.... ?

Lets see what you have also.

For the ones that do not do H/L's, maybe what we do may convince them to get into this also.

I have a 25 page picture book put together to show before and after pics so the customer can see what they should looks like when done. Great selling point... I had my Printing company put together some books that I drop off at my perferd shops I do bussiness with to help promote what I do. It was worth the expence.

It is good that you have pics of a car your customer is having looked at. All I do is show them their auto in a book so they can see it before it is done. All in time I will have most all makes in the book.

If I remember right. I had 15 booklets put together for 300.00.

What I did was have 6 pics per auto: on the left page (page 1 back) I would have a full front of the lights and grill on the top half, and the bottom of the page had the closeup of the left and right stacked on top of each other. These are the before pics.

Then on the right page (page 2 front) I would have the same pics of after shot. That way they can open any page and see any auto of before and after without flipping pages.

The first page (page 1 Front) is the title page with a clear coversheet.

Just keep adding pics and pages as you see fit. It took me a while to get 25 autos worth posting in the booklet.

I like switching back and forth with easy ones then a little worst and lighten it up, then go to a worst one and back to a light one then get uglyer and so one. But make sure the worst set is in the center pages before you loose there attention. Their face says a lot as they look though the booklet.

I hope this explaned good enough for what I did.
